Spring – Is it a reserved word?

[dougbernstein]

We have the search bar on the home page. We have a product in WooCommerce that has the word “Spring” in the name. We have also added tags to the product for both “spring” and “springs”. When searching for that word (singular or plural) we get no results. We have changed the name, in testing, to “sprang” and we get positive search results.
Is the word “spring” a reserved word? We can’t figure out why this is not showing results.
If it is a reserved word, is there a work around?
Anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Doug

Hi Doug,

Thank you for the details, it helps me lot!

There are no reserved keywords whatsoever, the issue is something else. I have noticed, that you have keyword exceptions set as following:

[code]for, in, on, ‘s[/code]

The problem is, that the for, in and on keywords will be replaced anywhere within the search phrase, meaning that entering Spring will actually search Sprg.

Instead, I believe you meant to place these keywords into the other configuration box, so that for, in and on are replaced only as whole words. Changing the configuration as following, will do the trick and resolve the problem.
